Last night, we celebrated our anniversary with a delightful dinner. The service was impeccable, and the food was simply extraordinary. I had the shitami drink, and we began with a very good charcuterie board. The sea bass and short rib were equally impressive, each dish bursting with flavor. To conclude our gastronomic adventure, we savored the creamy panacotta and the decadent chocolate mousse. My husband relished the panacotta, while I savored every bite of the mousse. It was an unforgettable dining experience that I highly recommend.

Had a really nice time here with my wife. The cocktails were excellent, the food was delicious and modestly portioned. We were able to fully complete our meals without feeling overly full. The atmosphere was visually stunning and great for a nice date night. One minor detail is that It can be a bit loud in the main dining area so expect to have to lean in and repeat yourself. Overall it’s a lively and tasty spot for a special occasion.

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day early. We had been really excited for their opening and were looking forward to trying it. When we arrived, the hostess didn’t acknowledge us at first, we stood there for a moment without being greeted. Once seated, there were crumbs on our booth seat that hadn’t been wiped down. Not the best first impression. That said, the ambiance is beautiful. The decor, lighting, music, and overall vibe are thoughtfully done. The space truly has potential. Our server was kind and attentive, but overall the service didn’t quite match the elevated experience the restaurant seems to be aiming for. For starters, we ordered the tuna carpaccio and karaage chicken. The tuna was just okay, not what we expected, and presentation aside, it lacked dep

Black Pearl in Ponte Vedra is an absolute gem. From the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for something special — and it exceeded every expectation. We started with cocktails that were as creative as they were delicious. The miso Old-Fashioned made with Japanese bourbon was smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. The recommended lychee cocktail with gooseberry accompaniment was light, refreshing, and beautifully presented. Both were unforgettable. For starters, we shared the king salmon tartare and tuna carpaccio with black truffle cream — each dish incredibly fresh, delicate, and thoughtfully composed. The truffle cream elevated the tuna carpaccio to another level. Our entrées were nothing short of spectacular. The Wagyu short rib was tender and rich, melting with every bite. The mi

We LOVED it! Our server Sydney was so sweet and took great care of us. Everything we had was absolutely phenomenal. We can not wait to come back and try the speakeasy and the omakase experience. If you look fine dining, this is your place! We came for our anniversary and we got a sweet little rose. COME! You won’t be disappointed!
